Research Profile

Prof. Moss specializes in the interpretation of the New Testament and the history of early Christianity. Her first book The Other Christs. Imitating Jesus in Ancient Christian Ideologies of Martyrdom (Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 2010)  examines the presentation of martyrs as Christ figures in the early church. She is currently working on a history of martyrdom in the first and second centuries C.E., tentatively entitled, Cultures of Death: A History of Martyrdom in Early Christianity for the Yale Anchor Reference Library. Her interests include suffering and martyrdom in the early church, constructions of heaven in Christianity, health, disease, and disability in the New Testament, and the reception history of the Gospels.
